Dr. Queale’s book on rebuilding the American Healthcare system
Dying to Save You
Americans are suffering from chronic disease and our healthcare system can’t save us. Sometimes it makes us worse. In fact, we don’t have a healthcare system in this country—we have a four-trillion-dollar sickcare system that profits off people struggling with chronic disease.
Primary care doctors should be the ones to keep us healthy. But what happens when primary care is broken? Worse, what happens when the policies and science that underlie primary care are broken? You have utter chaos. But there is a solution.
In Dying to Save You, Dr. William Queale takes you behind the scenes of our sickcare system. He uses deeply personal stories to explain how we got here and how systems thinking can get us out. But Dying to Save You isn’t just about medicine, science, and healthcare policy. This book is about you—and how you can stay out of the sickcare system altogether.
